There are 75 acres of pumpkins at Baugher's Pick Your Own Orchard in Westminster. Owner Dwight Baugher said this year farmer's in much of the state are enjoying a bumper crop due in part to the above average moisture and a good growing season.

"We had a few hot stretches, but not crazy, so they did really well. We got a big pumpkin crop, and we're still working hard to sell them all. Pumpkins are good until Halloween. After that, they're organic matter," Baugher said.

So leading up to Halloween, it's busy times. Over the weekend, a record number of people came out to Baughers -- more than 11,000 Saturday and Sunday -- and there are monster-sized pumpkins from which to choose.

In years past, when the crop hasn't been so good, some farms have had to get pumpkins from out of state, but Baugher is busy transporting truck loads to wholesalers all while in the middle of apple season.
